And what if the consumer wants to have the movie
_fixed_ so that it _inserts_ unclean scenes that
were not in the original? For example, I think
it's horrible that, in _Pocahontas_, a guy gets
a gunshot in the chest, falls into the water,
and we don't see that water becoming red with blood.
This is a very bad lesson to kids: that guns
are clean killers. I think this scene is very
objectionable.
